1/7) BTC can never serve the world as a Store of Value with a flawed long term security model

The idea that BTC security can be maintained with sustained high TX fees is non-viable

Without security & utility, BTC fails as an SoV, unlike ETH which exceeds BTC in all atributes
2/7) It takes centuries for an SoV to truly become established in society, based on its utilitarian & Aristotelian money attributes

Atributes which BTC no longer possesses, especially in the face of the competition

BTC does not exist in a void, it has to compete, evolve or die
3/7) Maximalists act as if BTC's decade old history can never be overcome by competitors

While attempting to overcome the multiple millennium history of gold

Abandoning the much larger & more significant market that Bitcoin was created to compete with:

Modern fiat currency
4/7) Modern fiat currency has existed for less then a century

Before fiat, we used commodity currency for the majority of human history

True cryptocurrency embraces this revolutionary aspect; combining SoV & money

Just like the historical use of gold as a commodity currency
5/7) Forming an unbeatable synergy in digital form

BTC has long since abandoned this original vision, which is why I left after the blocksize debates

Ethereum & almost all BTC competitors have adopted Bitcoin's original vision

While BTC still denies its roots as P2P cash:
6/7) BTC is the only cryptocurrency that considers low capacity & high fees a positive feature, requiring the utmost of vigor in ideological defense

During the blocksize debates, I realized that this would slow down mass adoption by atleast a decade

Neccesitating a flippening
7/7) The cryptocurrency market has to now overthrow the incumbent before it can truly thrive again

It is better to swallow that bitter pill now, as opposed to extending the pain, by propping up what has become a fundamentally flawed asset & network

That is doomed to fail anyway
